I told Quicken to treat a money market fund as cash, now it tells me share numbers don't match

How did I tell Quicken to treat the Schwab money market fund [SWVXX] as cash? Now, the fund value is correct, but quicken doesn't have a record of the right number of shares. Is telling Quicken to treat the money market fund as cash the cause of this problem?

How do I fix it? I can't remember how I changed it to "treat as cash." I suppose changing it back to treating it as shares would solve the problem, unless someone has a better idea. Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hello @Blue2Green,

Thank you for reaching out with this issue. You never told Quicken to treat SWVXX as cash. It is something that happens by default. See this announcement for more information:

How are the share values off? You may want to check to make sure placeholder transactions aren't the cause. If needed, you can also use the Update share balance option to adjust the share balance as needed.

You may also want to take a look at this Idea post and add a vote + a comment if it's something you agree with:
